[Facts] Anya - pronunciation
Do you pronounce this ANN-ya, or AHN-ya? Or something else entirely! It would be even more helpful if you could say where you're from, so I can see whether different pronunciations are used in different parts of the world. Thanks!

I say AHN-ya and I'm from the United States. Everyone I know pronounces it that way where I live, and I know quite a few girls named this.

I know a girl named Anyah and she pronounces her name AHN-yah. It doesn't seem like the 'h' at the end would change the pronunciation.
